History
At 21:30 on 30 April 1942, a group of Partisans from the 2nd battalion of the Notranjska Detachment and part of the 3rd battalion of the Primorje-Gorski Kotar Detachment attacked the outpost of the Croatian Armed Forces in Brod na Kupi with multiple machine guns, simultaneously attacking the Financial Guard. There were around 120 Partisans with 5 machine guns against 10 Croatian soldiers. After a short battle, the soldiers were disarmed, and a Croatian soldier Luka Klanac was captured by the Partisans and taken to their camp. 4 financial guardsmen fled, later appearing in Delnice, while 6 were captured. On 1 May, about 300 rebels from the Croatian side moving along the road through Kuželj joined about 600 Partisans from the Slovene side and completed the capture of Brod, confiscating the soldiers' uniforms and imprisoning them in their barracks, eventually taking several soldiers with them. The Delnice-Brod connection was cut the same day by these Partisans, at 15:30. The Italian garrison of around 150 in Brod had retreated on 29 April to Kočevje and were poorly defended, but on 10 May, the Italian army entered Brod from all sides and the Partisans fled.[5]
On 16 September 2022, torrential rains caused locally extreme flooding in Kuželj.[6][7]
